Thanks for the constructive criticism Peter, I was hoping somebody would.

Due to my handful of times setting up the C8i Alt AZ mount and star aligning I could only get away with 15 second maximum exposures. I had some drift. Over half of my exposures I had to delete due to a combination of drift, slight wind, vibration etc. I did two sets, one of 15 seconds each and a second set of 8 seconds each just to be safe. I was guessing I could get away with the 15 second exposures so I was happy to get some of those to stack in with the 8 second shots.

My brighter to bright stars are bloated. Is this due to the high ISO and focusing?

To fix the noise I'll be taking more exposures and spend more time processing correctly and in the final edit, plus bias frames?

Is there an example of the Carina neb from a non modded camera without filters? I would like to compare it to mine as I have no clue as to what it should look like for it's colour or structurally.

Cheers.
Dave.
